[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent in my absentee ballot today. Waffled for a bit over some of the candidates but ultimately went D across the board. Later I went outside the bubble of my liberal white friends and colleagues and had to deal with some racist white folks who made me feel subtly threatened. I know liberals have a lot of issues as well, but at the end of the day, most don’t want to jail me or see me gone or treat me as a second-class citizen. Racist white folks[b] need to be indoctrinated [/b]with the ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Having R’s in power only emboldens them. I’m never going to give them that happiness. I’m rich and in the highest tax bracket and don’t like paying so much in taxes but I’ll deal with it as long as D’s are in power and the racists aren’t happy.[/quote]

Nobody should ever be "indoctrinated." People need to learn to reason, not be brainwashed parrots.[/quote]

Sounds like OP has been indoctrinated. Dems have had the AA vote for 60 years and what have they done for them? The AA community is arguably no better off in that period of time, and in many aspects, worse off. [/quote]

You’re such a lying POS - most insidious BS I’ve heard.

Republicans of today are the party of disenfranchisement - ESP of POC - remember when they said the voting in Philly and Detroit were all fraudulent?  Ya, that’s bc it’s mostly black people voting in those cities.  Democrats protect those votes.  Point blank.

Republicans of today are the party of Charlottesville, the party of racist immigration policies, the party, whitewashing history to pretend slavery ‘wasn’t that bad’ and the party of people like you.[/quote]

Spare me your histrionics. Maybe you'll come to a better understanding from your house of worship, CNN?

"The typical Black American family is virtually no closer to equal footing with its White peers in terms of income and wealth than it was 50 years ago, when Civil Rights-era reforms were enacted to expand opportunity and limit outright racial discrimination."
